The Reason for Brando not accepting his oscar was a stand against the poor treatment of native americans.

I also read that he wouldn't appear in that bit in GF II because he was treated badly by the studio.

Clemenza's role wasn't reprised in GF II for a few reasons. Castellano wanted too much money, he wanted his aide (or whoever) to write his lines, and I read somewhere that he wanted to play young clemenza!
